Patient's question:
I'm almost three months pregnant. At night, I feel a hard lump on my abdomen, but it disappears after a while. What could this be?First follow-up question: During the first three months of pregnancy, I often argued and fought with my husband. Could this affect the fetus? If so, how can I prevent it?
Second follow-up question: The hard lump appears either on the right or the left side, but it disappears after just a moment. Is this the baby moving?
Doctor's answer:
Three months into the pregnancy, I occasionally feel hard lumps in my abdomen. It is likely that this is due to the uterus expanding and occupying space in the abdominal cavity, which occasionally causes discomfort in the small intestine's peristalsis. It is recommended to eat carefully at this stage, consuming more protein-rich foods, fresh fruits, and vegetables. The preparation should be light and refreshing. If an ultrasound examination shows that the fetus is growing and developing normally, there is no significant issue. It is important to maintain a cheerful mood, relax mentally, get adequate rest without overexertion, follow a light diet, avoid greasy and spicy foods, and undergo regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital.
